Are you familiar with the IEEE floating point arithmetic standard? Would you <br />
like to understand it better? This book gives a broad overview of numerical <br />
computing, in a historical context, with a special focus on the IEEE standard <br />
for binary floating point arithmetic. Key ideas are developed step by step, <br />
taking the reader from floating point representation, correctly rounded <br />
arithmetic, and the IEEE philosophy on exceptions, to an understanding of the <br />
crucial concepts of conditioning and stability, explained in a simple yet <br />
rigorous context. It gives technical details that are not readily available <br />
elsewhere and includes challenging exercises that go beyond the topics covered <br />
in the text. Numerical Computing with IEEE Floating Point Arithmetic provides an <br />
easily accessible yet detailed discussion of IEEE Std 754-1985, arguably the <br />
most important standard in the computer industry. The result of an unprecedented <br />
cooperation between academic computer scientists and the cutting edge of <br />
industry, it is supported by virtually every modern computer. Other topics <br />
include the floating point architecture of the Intel microprocessors and a <br />
discussion of programming language support for the standard. <br />
